Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (illness) is questionable to suit up against the Warriors on Thursday. A stomach bug kept him out from Tuesday's clash with the Rockets, and he could now miss a second consecutive game. The trio of Andrew Nembhard, Buddy Hield, and Ben Sheppard will have a chance to play more without Mathurin. Hield had the best game out of the three on Tuesday with 12 points and six assists in 24 minutes off the bench.
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Golden State. He's played in five straight games since returning to the lineup, despite carrying the questionable tag, so it should be safe to assume Haliburton will play versus Stephen Curry & Co. His minutes might also be on the up after Haliburton logged 29 minutes on Tuesday versus Houston. Meanwhile, T.J. McConnell's minutes will continue to shrink as Haliburton gets close to being 100 percent.
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) has been cleared to play ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Haliburton will play but is expected to remain under a minutes limit. It's uncertain whether or not Haliburton will start or come off the bench during this game. Regardless, fantasy managers in season-long formats should feel safe plugging him into their lineups. However, DFS players might find Haliburton to be a risky choice until he's back to full strength.
Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. It appears Mathurin is dealing with a stomach illness, so the team will hold him out of this contest. The good news is that this probably won't be a multi-game absence for him. In the meantime, Ben Sheppard figures to see more minutes in the rotation. Also, Buddy Hield and Aaron Nesmith should have larger roles on Tuesday.
Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash with Houston. Despite returning to the court, Haliburton has remained on the injury report, but he's featured in four straight games and will likely play on Tuesday as well. However, it looks like it may take a while until Haliburton starts playing his usual minutes. He hasn't surpassed the 22-minute mark in any of his outings since returning from injury. Luckily for fantasy managers, Haliburton can still put up quality numbers in limited playing time, but it's a shame we can't see him out at full force.
